Kailash Satyarthi Seeks Support From 'Fellow Nobel Laureates' 

Reacting to the attacks on minorities and vandalism of temples in Bangladesh, Nobel Peace laureate Kailash Satyarthi said, "As today is the Human Rights Day, let us reaffirm our shared commitment to safeguarding universal rights that define our humanity, the right to freedom, dignity and equality."

He said he was "deeply troubled" by the "alarming situation" unfolding in Bangladesh. "I have been associated with several governmental and non-governmental organizations on the issues of education and child rights in Bangladesh for more than 4 decades and have always cherished the trust and communal harmony among the people. The recent attacks on minorities and acts of vandalism of religious places have left countless people living in fear. Their fundamental rights are under siege," he said.

Airing concerns over the Human Rights situation in Bangladesh, Satyarthi said: "If the volatile situation is not addressed with urgency, the repercussions will extend far beyond Bangladesh, threatening the stability and peace in the entire South Asian region. The suppression of minorities and the violation of human rights anywhere is an attack on our collective conscience. In these challenging times, I call upon my fellow Nobel Laureate Mohammad Yunus to address this evolving situation without any delay. I am sure he will rise as a beacon of moral courage and compassionate leadership to control the ongoing violence which is denying the human rights of millions of people..."
